Fiber Mania - the aftermath.......

Ok, so no pictures, I guess I could have taken a picture of the aftermath sitting down in the garage - bins, rubbermaid storage boxes, bags and bags of roving - all needing to be put away today. Roving needs to be inventoried so I can update my etsy shops and get them open again. Yikers - what a day I have in store for me - good thing there's a stereo and tv down in the garage.

Final thoughts on Fiber Mania - I did quite well selling my roving and other items for this being the first year of the event, I'm pleased. I would love to see the event grow to include even more vendors from out of the area, it really has to grow for it to be worth it to them to pay for travel & lodging. All in all I had a great time, met lots of new fiber folks that I hope I'll see again, and I'm totally exhausted. I met so many brand new spinners - it's very exciting that spinning is getting a bit more mainstream, I think it's the next step all those new knitters are taking from the boom in knitters in recent years - I love it! And there are quite a few new knitters and spinners moving on to weaving. One downside to running a booth by yourself is no time to go see all the other vendors and animals. When friends would come by I'd have them stay with my booth so I could take a potty break before I had to do the potty dance - that's a new one to me not having kids - family was in yesterday and the father asked where the bathroom was because his toddler was doing the potty dance - very cute, hope he made it.....

About Me

The dance my feet make on the treadles of the loom as the shuttle moves to and fro forming the cloth….the whirl of the spinning wheel as yarn is created from fluffs of fiber….the click-clack of bamboo knitting needles as a knit item is created….the inter-twining of wool fibers creating beautiful artwork on my felted pieces….the shades of the rainbow in the dyepots as I play with color….the twinkle of glass beads adorning many of my scarves and shawls….these are the things that fuel my creative life

WHERE TO FIND MY WORK

http://eweniquelyewefibers.etsy.com/ - this shop has a large selection of Ashland Bay Trading Co. roving and fibers for spinning, felting and surface design. This shop also showcases my hand-dyed fibers.
